No kidding there.  I may have been a bit rough, but after some of the
e-mail I've received, well...

I store my background(s) in a Virtual screen (a 2D sequence) and I "draw"
my sprites into it, then when all my sprites are drawn, I take the parts
that should be changed and draw them to the video screen.  I think we go
over that in 2 or 3 lessons.  I also explain it in gross detail in the
OidZone source explaination line by line through my code.
